Yes, 'Full Rebuilt Interface' and the game was previously installed in the default 'Program files' location before I came across this rebuild. Before I attempted the rebuild, I moved the main game folder to c:/nhl 2004. Should the game be uninstalled and reinstalled directly to the path of C:/nhl 2004 - then attempt the rebuild?

Having to use a "short path" such as C:\nhl 2004 is a myth. It just matters that the NHL 2004 folder is writable. You can move the folder if you want, but you'll have to use launcher.exe to update the registry entries to point to that new folder.

So--assuming everything is in the same folder, start by running Launcher.exe

Back to my original question however, after I unzip Rebuilt Interface and overwrite current NHL 2004 files - Do I then need to do the same for all of the rosters and arena ect before actually launching the game?

Tying to determine why I get the "Nhl 2004 has caused an error windows needs to shut it down ect send error report?" Soon as I go to open the game

Thanks

The usual cause of a crash as soon as you run the game is BrowserEngine_pc_z.dll not being registered, which can be caused by the game not being installed properly or the folder being moved. If you know how to register DLLs, you can try registering that file and becontrols_pc_z.dll. Otherwise, launcher.exe should register them for you.

Im still having the white screen issue in posted in troubleshooting thread issue #13

-------------13. My game halts to the white screen on startup.

Wait for 60-70 seconds. If it still doesn't advance to the menu, try disabling your antivirus software and right-click over NHL2004.EXE and -> "run the file as an administrator & run in compatibility mode -> XP". You might also have an online problem and it can take up to 30 seconds to go to the menu, so disable "ESPN news ticker" from the display options.

Also, if you have various NHL 2004 versions installed (96/97 mod, v2, etc.) make sure that you rename them as "Vintage NHL 2004" and not as "NHL 2004 97 mod", because the registry will ignore anything written after "NHL 2004" and is going to search for the wrong version.

Ive tried all fixes with no luck any other thoughts???

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi!
I have the "stuck at loading screen" problem but only if I play against russia. I have tried reinstalling the rosters (they are in the correct files). I'm quite sure that I played against them in a international tournament without any problems a few days ago but now it won't work wether I play "play now" or a tournament.

Now to the weird thing. After searching what the actual problem was I found out that it only happens when russia is the home team!

In NHL View, change the Arena Art to 99 for Russia.
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know

Hey guys. Vintage build 2 seems to work fine with the exception of an audible ping XP in the background when there is a stoppage in play. I close out the game to the desktop and it reveals several blank white boxes titled Project 1.exe. Crash I guess. Any advice? Btw.it's in my exception list. Update.. Developer has the same error.

When I try to launch the "launcher.exe" an error message pops up saying that launcher.dii is missing, I can't play the game at all because all that happens is a white screen, installed all the mods.
